Back to Sowing…

I’ve been feeling ill since Saturday. It was like I had severe allergies and a flu all in one. I was so stuffed up and had such a hard time breathing. It sucked!… I had a 4 day weekend and wasn’t able to garden any of those days.

Although, I don’t quite feel 100% better… I planted a whole bunch of seeds in these cool cell packs I got last week from Big Lots. The 12-pack Mini Greenhouses were 99¢ each and the 9-cell packs were 97¢ for six. As an added bonus, eight 9-cell packs will fit perfectly into my Jiffy (72 pellet) Greenhouse.

    (okay, you have shamed me into planting my perilla seeds.)

      What kind do you have? Are they the edible ones, or the Coleus-type ones?

        the edible variety

    Agh, glad to hear you’re kicking whatever this is…

    Nice find from Big Lots! I’ll have to remember that. I know I was surprised to find 4/$1 seeds at a dollar store, but seed trays are always great to have as many as possible on hand!

      Yup yup… I totally want to get more, but it’s two towns away (thought not that far-14 miles)… I’ll probably check Friday or this weekend…
